First crappie over 16'' in 2020 , only 2.33 lbs . They weight light in Nimrod . Said I was going to stop keeping so many fish this year and released all my fish today . Caught them on same Red Huckabee rods , the 13 ' Phantom swings em . He bit purple/chartreuse umbrella tube on a Timmy Tom insert jig head as usual .

That's a good one for Nimrod Lake for sure.
Good for you, I have decided to eat more fish & cut back on red meat.
Save them for me

I would release that one to the grease. nonono
I commend you for cutting back Nimrod. No reason to set a new world record every year for the most harvest crappie by one angler. The only down side is all those neighbors and friends you used to give fish to, might get mad at you! Ha ha ha!
In all seriousness, I hope more crappie anglers start throwing some back (sport fishing) with the increase in technology and technique. I’m not saying it isn’t alright to harvest a limit. Just no reason to do it every time you go. Just my opinion.

Already had one get upset cause I turned them loose instead of stopping and dropping them off . But really people need to remove a bunch of small fish from Nimrod . Several other lakes I fish have good ones and numbers are dropping . Afraid this upgrade in electronics can't be good for the fish populationsQuote:

I applaud your decision. Good on you and I sincerely mean that.
Does that mean when Billbob and I come fish with you, we have to release them too? :Doh:
I keep around 10/15% of my catch & release the rest. I love the 10-12" size for cooking, all big ones go back.
I prefer 10-12” eaters, always turn the big ones loose.

This 30 fish limit and spider rigging is hurting some small lakes . This livescope could increase pressure if guys learn to use them. But still a few lakes that are over populated to the point growth is slowed . I have been discussing this with folks at AGFC . Hopefully we can figure out how to help the lakes that are overcrowded with small fish .Quote:
